Default Re: Did I play this hand Badly? You Decide

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not sure why you played it the way you did. Preflop is pretty straightforward, then you chose to slowplay on the flop. That makes sense, but then why switch on the turn? Why not let JT or KJ draw for a straight, or AT, KQ or JJ feel confident, or 55 draw for a full house?

The only hand that beats you is AA, or possibly 99 with the case 9 on the river. AA is slowplaying you, no point in betting. There's some small value into forcing 99 out. But there's a lot more value in keeping every other hand in.

With 2 pair on the flop, the slowplay is more dangerous. You could be up against a straight draw, trips or lots of other hands that could beat you. I think it's a good play, but the slowplay on the turn is much better.

Because someone could have a Q and you'll get a lot more money more often. OP, your line is fine, nobody had anything, that's all.
